It's almost like there are these periods where our relationship is smooth and steady, and then there are times when it's like standing on the edge of this gorgeous, wonderful waterfall and just letting yourself drop, knowing that there's a safe pool of water ready to catch you at bottom. You take the plunge and you're in wayyyy over your head, but oh man, it's exhilarating, it's breathtaking, it's just incredible and you feel better than you ever have before and the water is cool and refreshing and exactly what you needed.

So every Friday a bunch of us PUMC ladies get together for breakfast. We used to go to a place called Ruby Jean's, until the woman who owned the place was EXCEEDINGLY rude to some of us. Then we started going to the Trailhouse Coffee Shop, and today.. we learned that they are closing tomorrow due to lack of business.

We live in a tiny town. Those are the only two places around for breakfast. So.. what to do?

We resolved it in an INSTANT. We'll meet at the church every Friday morning. We'll trade off who brings something breakfasty, and we have coffee there already.

I'm up for the first breakfast. I'll be making Bisquick biscuits with melted cheese and crispy bacon inside them.

The other nice thing about this is we're going to make it a weekly ladies' prayer breakfast. It's not exactly appropriate to spend a half hour in prayer in a public coffee house, but in the church's fellowship hall, that works just fine, thanks.

And one more nice thing about it is that a lot of the ladies who are dealing with financial troubles will be able to come now, as they won't have to pay $3 for a cup of coffee.

The Bisguick works well with sausage as well. There are also some casseroles I can pass along, if you want them, and I can find the cookbook.If there aren't too many, fritattas are easy to make if you have an oven at the church.

What a great idea! I know I'd feel less self-conscious and more open to sharing in a close familiar place, like my church, than at Starbucks or a local diner. Sounds like you all worked out the perfect solution.
